Crime news: Menlo Park home invaded, victim assaulted
by Sandy Brundage
An early-morning call led Menlo Park police to the scene of a home invasion on Sunday in the 1000 block of Windermere Avenue.
The adult male victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries caused by an assault during the invasion, according to a police department press release.
One or more persons forced entry into the home and ransacked the place before fleeing, police said. The victim then called police around 7:30 a.m.
About an hour before the incident, residents of homes in the 600 block of Central Avenue and the 800 block of Laurel Avenue reported someone tried to break into their houses as well. Investigators don't know yet if the incidents are related.
Police ask anyone with information to contact Sgt. Tim Brackett or Detective Christine Powell at 330-6300.
